Our read on BLOK

ETF.net Research

In short

BLaunched in January 2018, one of the first blockchain ETFs out of the gate, and still an active stock picker: about 50 global companies chosen by a manager rather than an index, plus limited digital-asset exposure through a wholly owned subsidiary.

Stated mandate

The Fund seeks total return through active investment in equity securities of companies involved in developing and using blockchain technologies. It may invest in non-U.S. equities and obtain limited digital-asset exposure through a wholly owned subsidiary.

Why people hold it

  • Actively managed rather than index-bound: the team picks roughly 50 blockchain-linked companies worldwide and can reshuffle as the industry's cast changes.
  • A January 2018 launch that grew into a billion-dollar-plus fund, and one of the stronger implementations in its blockchain-equity peer group.
  • Scale shows up at the screen: among the easier funds in this corner of the market to get in and out of, and spread across a broad basket instead of two or three names.

Worth knowing

  • 0.70% a year, essentially the category median but above index-tracking rivals such as BKCH at 0.50%. Active stock selection is what the extra buys.
  • Companies, not coins. Any direct digital-asset exposure is limited and routed through a wholly owned subsidiary, so the ride follows blockchain equities, not a coin price.
  • Distributions land once or twice a year, so this is an equity growth vehicle rather than an income sleeve.
